Two Gold Soul Coins and one Silver Soul Coin could buy Tang San's greatest opportunity.

This deal was an absolute steal!

No!

He had to add more fuel to the fire and cut off every possibility completely!

Tang Lan's expression suddenly darkened.

"It's just that I don't earn much. After paying the two Gold Soul Coins for tuition, that one Silver Soul Coin will probably only be enough for a few days of cultivation."

"It's okay, Brother!" Tang San said, deeply moved. "I can find work at a blacksmith's shop and support myself!"

Tang Lan guiltily turned his head aside, grinning to himself.

Now you'll have absolutely no time to get close to Xiao Wu.

And with the Soft Bone Rabbit spirit ring as insurance.

At the very least, Xiao Wu

was now completely cut off from Tang San.

Tang San had no idea he had been set up.

He was so moved that he was nearly in tears, already thinking that once he found a job at a blacksmith's shop, he would forge a Sleeve Arrow for his brother too.

Outside the donkey cart,

Old Jack nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Tang Lan was such a responsible older brother. That drunkard Tang Hao was truly fortunate.

As for Tang San?

Well.

With such a good brother doting on him, there was no need for an old man like him to worry.

Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy was located on the western side of Notting City.

Since Old Jack had become village chief, Holy Soul Village had never produced another Spirit Master.

He did not know the way.

After asking passersby for directions several times, he finally reached their destination.

Just before they arrived,

Tang Lan took out a set of new clothes and handed them to Tang San.

"You're a new student. You should dress properly too, so the other students won't look down on you."

Tang San was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes!

Tang Lan's own clothes had several patches on them!

Yet.

Tang Lan only did this because he did not want Tang San to be looked down upon by the gatekeeper, get into an argument, and run into "Grandmaster" Yu Xiaogang.

Though that man had nothing but an empty reputation, he was still Tang San's guide.

He had given Tang San quite a bit of help and had even resolved the conflict between his Twin Martial Souls.

If Xiao Wu had not been at this academy, and if Notting City had not had only this one junior academy,

Tang Lan would have wanted to take Tang San to another academy.

After thinking it over,

Tang Lan still gave him another worried reminder—

"You can go register at Spirit Hall first. That way, you can receive one Gold Soul Coin every month."

"And!"

"Absolutely do not tell anyone about your Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Blue Silver Grass is widely acknowledged as weak. This abnormal phenomenon of yours may cause your classmates to reject you."

"Cultivate well, then make a stunning debut and slap everyone in the face."

"Understand?"

Tang Lan's concern made even Old Jack feel inferior.

He had thought of everything!

Tang San nodded heavily, tears in his eyes as he watched the donkey cart depart.

He silently made a decision—he would make another Sleeve Arrow for his brother!

The donkey cart arrived at Notting Academy.

Just as it was about to enter,

the gates suddenly slammed shut, and the young gatekeeper looked at them with disgust.

"Is this a place country bumpkins like you can come to?"

Tang Lan got out of the cart without wasting words.

He directly unleashed his First Soul Ring.

The disguised yellow spirit ring made the young gatekeeper's expression change drastically!

Damn it!

He was actually a Spirit Master?

He looked only around six years old, and he was a freaking genius too!

As if performing a magic trick, the gatekeeper put on a fawning smile.

"Ah, young master, this lowly one was blind and looked down on you. I deserve to be beaten!"

Gritting his teeth, he slapped himself.

He hit himself so hard that a red mark appeared on his face.

After all,

he was merely a commoner.

If a genius Spirit Master killed him, then he would simply be dead.

"Don't spread my business around."

Tang Lan instructed him—

"A black-haired child will come to register later. Don't stop him. Take him to register."

The young gatekeeper did not dare object in the slightest. He nodded and bowed as he agreed.

Not long after Tang Lan and the others left,

a middle-aged man returned from outside the academy and glanced at the red mark on the gatekeeper's face.

"Making things difficult for people again? Got beaten?"

The young gatekeeper was about to complain when he heard that.

Then he remembered Tang Lan's warning and changed his tune.

"I had a fight with my wife. Thank you for your concern, Grandmaster."

Yu Xiaogang gave him a cold glance and had no interest in asking further.

"Guard the gate properly. Stop thinking about taking bribes all the time."

After reprimanding him,

Grandmaster walked into the academy, but his heart felt strangely empty.

As if

he had missed something important.

Tang Lan, inside the academy, received a system prompt at the same time.

The host has delayed Tang San's apprenticeship to Yu Xiaogang and seized a medium amount of Tang San's Luck! Reward: "Medium increase in Soul Beast Favorability"!

Oh?

Only delayed it?

That made sense.

Tang San had not completely offended Yu Xiaogang; they simply had not met for the time being.

Once they did encounter each other,

it would be like a dog unable to stop eating shit.

A Grandmaster who had theories but no way to verify them would definitely take Tang San as his disciple.

Tsk!

Should I find a way to take out Grandmaster?

A level 29 trash martial soul would be easy enough to kill.

The only problem was that it might attract the attention of that lovesick Bibi Dong.

As he was pondering this,

Old Jack suddenly said, "Xiao Lan, that spirit ring of yours..."

"When I went out to train, Dad helped me hunt a Soul Beast," Tang Lan smoothly replied.

Old Jack was even more shocked!

Tang Hao had helped hunt it?

He did not understand what a yellow spirit ring meant, but it looked far more precious than Tang San's white spirit ring, didn't it?

Who would have thought that useless Tang Hao actually had such ability?

Compared to that blind gatekeeper, the teachers were much more decent.

Though they were surprised that Tang Lan's "trash martial soul," Blue Silver Grass, actually possessed level 3 Innate Soul Power,

there was no cliché scene of contempt, and they smoothly completed his work-study student enrollment.

After receiving free toiletries, he arrived at Room Seven of the dormitory building.

This was where the work-study students lived together.

Not only were the conditions the worst, but students of different ages and both genders lived together.

As Old Jack spread a straw mat for Tang Lan,

he seemed to strain his back, his face turning pale.

Tang Lan noticed immediately and sent Nine Yang Divine Skill Inner Force into him.

It easily healed the injury and even made him feel more energetic.

"So this is soul power? It really is amazing." Old Jack clicked his tongue in wonder. "You must study hard and strive to graduate properly."

After giving him a round of instructions,

Old Jack finally got up and left when he saw other students returning to the room.

The door had barely closed

when an older boy walked over and looked down at Tang Lan's patch-covered clothes.

"New work-study student?" the boy demanded rudely. "My name is Wang Sheng. My martial soul is the Battle Tiger. I'll be a Battle Soul Master in the future, and I'm the boss here! Kid, state your name."

Oh!

He was here to establish dominance.

Tang Lan raised a hand.

The Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor coiled around Wang Sheng, binding him tightly.

Bang—

He was smashed onto the ground, unable to move.

Empowered by two 7000 Years spirit rings, the Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor's toughness was no less than that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year plant Soul Beast.

No matter how Wang Sheng struggled, it was useless.

The people nearby who had been preparing to watch the show all widened their eyes!

Wang Sheng was an upperclassman, yet he had been brought down just like that?

Tang Lan swept his gaze around the room, his expression calm.

"My name is Tang Lan. From now on, I'm the boss of Seventh Dormitory."

"You'll be under my protection, but you must obey me."

"Who agrees? Who objects?"

The group of children fell silent as cicadas in winter. None of them dared meet Tang Lan's eyes.

Tang Lan nodded in satisfaction.

He took out a Gold Soul Coin and tossed it to one of them.

"Go buy me a new set of bedding and the like. Remember, get the largest ones."

"And brand-new toiletries."

The boy stared at the Gold Soul Coin in his hand, dumbfounded!

Being strong in a fight could be chalked up to talent.

But

he handed over a Gold Soul Coin just like that?

Someone this rich was a work-study student?

"Hm? Is there a problem?" Tang Lan raised a brow.

The boy hurriedly shook his head and sprinted toward the door.

"Hey! I'll go with you!"

"Yeah!"

"Count me in!"

All the children ran off.

It seemed Tang Lan's "show of force" had been quite successful.

A pretty little girl walked in through the still-open door.

Her small face was fair with a rosy glow, her eyes bright and lively, and the Rabbit Ear decorations on her head made her look even cuter.

It was Xiao Wu!
